Doom

Publisher: ID Software
Developer: ID Software
Genre: First Person
Multiplayer Link up: yes
One of the most famous first-person shooters of all time comes to Game Boy Advance, 24 levels strong and in full 3D. Doom is the game that put PC action-shooters on the map, and it's truly amazing to be able to play such a complete version of the game on a portable system. Known for its gruesome enemies and brain-teasing level design, Doom for GBA plays exactly like the original game.
You control a space marine who must escape from a Martian moon base which has been invaded by the most hideous monsters imaginable. To survive, you'll have to constantly upgrade your weaponry and always be on the look-out for secret areas, special power-ups and armor enhancements.
The Game Boy Advance version of Doom is the real deal, delivering huge 3D environments and plenty of blood-thirsty demons to destroy. Perhaps the coolest feature of Doom is that two to four players can complete simultaneously in a deathmatch mode (each player will need their own Doom cartridge, and Game Boy Advance Game Link Cables are also required). If you're not feeling competitive, team up with a friend to tackle the two-player cooperative mode.
Doom's dark and shadowy hallways demand that you play the game in a well-lit area to fully appreciate the detailed graphics. Besides, with so many demons lurking around every corner you probably wouldn't want to play this game anywhere close to sunset. Once the GBA SP is released this game will come alive.
Bad Points: Its very dark, which doen't help with the screen of the GBA.
Graphics: 9.1/10 the graphics graphics are 3D and look like the orginal. Although somtimes clear 2D graphics are better than distorted 3D graphics.
Sound: 8.9/10, Good gun shot sound effects. The growling sounds from the monsters are distorted, they just sound like one massive blur.
Mastery: 9.2/10, The controls are hard to get used to at first because Doom uses almost every GBA button.
Lifespan: 9.0/10, With many missions to complete, it is a long game. The multi player mode extends its lastiblity as well.
Overall 9.0
This is a gaming classic; fans of first person shoot em ups will love this game. The best shooting game on the GBA.
